Independent - Mid Devon Motor Company, Exeter Road, Winkleigh, Devon EX19 8JJ 1
This place still sells fuel as an independent site but it had been branded either Repsol of Anglo in the past. Below the price board, and now very faded, one can just make out the Repshop logo. It's much more obvious on earlier Streetview shots.
I love the architecture of this garage, proper old school place with the upstairs part of the building extending over the top of the canopy. The logo on the sign isn't as interesting as it was a few years ago, then it used shared letters to interlock the name Mid Devon Motor Co whereas now it's a bit more normal! However in the foreground of one of my photos you can see large plastic lettering rather tilted back reading MDM, a work in progress perhaps? There used to be a second pump where there is now a flower tub. Looking at the early Steeetview it's clear one of the pumps was branded Anglo so that must have been its last brand. In more recent years the garage has gained an MOT sign, not sure if that means that's a new thing they do or if they just didn't have the sign on display before!
